Re: Minibot Falling Solutions

We are using 2 three-way switches (SPDT) to create an H motor control. We are also using 2 TETRIX on/off switches to start/stop the motors. On our MINIBOT the motors need to turn in the opposite direction but the H motor control reverses both motors. Finally, we are planning on using stainless steel axles to flip the switches and surgical tube to absorb the shock of contact. We are using a latch so the axle does not bounce back and flip the switch again.
